First Time for Everything Hat

There is a first time for everything, including making a hat! This simple hat is a great way to learn how to read a pattern, work ribbing and decreases, and use circular and double-pointed needles. It is written for four sizes so you can make a beanie or a slouchy hat to fit everyone you know! And if you already have made a hundred hats, this is a great reference pattern for your library. **Sizes** Baby (Toddler, Child/Teen, Adult) 13.25 (15.5, 17.75, 20)” circumference, un-stretched. **Gauge** 18 sts =4” in St st in the round on larger needles. **Yarn** Beanie: 70 (80, 90, 110) yds worsted weight yarn Slouchy: 90 (100, 110, 150) yds worsted weight yarn We used Malabrigo [Rios][1] in the Aniversario colorway for the pictured hat. **Needles** US size 6 (4.5mm) and US size 8 (5mm), 16” (40cm) long US size 78(4.5mm) DPN **Notions** 6 (7, 8, 9)stitch markers (one unique) Tapestry needle [1]: https://stixyarn.com/products/rios
